Nanny Tells Restaurants To Rip Us Off

I am ungemused to see that Nanny's chums from the Department of Health have a special website called the Public Health Responsibility Deal. Salted away (pardon the "salt" pun) within the website is a document offering advice to Indian and South Asian restaurants.

The document offers advice such as:

"Try not to overfill or compress food into containers. Or try using a slightly smaller container for takeaway dishes. Slightly smaller portion sizes will still be satisfying and will save you money!...

In dishes like butter chicken and chicken korma use rapeseed or sunflower oil to cook the dish....

Remove salt cellar s from table s and only give to customers on request Don’t serve poppadoms free of charge.."

In other words Nanny wants the restaurants to serve less food but charge the same, mislead customers by claiming something is cooked in butter when it isn't and not act in a professional service minded manner by removing salt from the table.

Farking disgraceful, Nanny is encouraging restaurants to rip people off!

I understand that similar advice is being offered to other types of restaurant, eg Italian eateries are being advised to serve smaller pizzas but charge the same and sandwich shops are being told to reduce the fillings of sarnies.

US Nanny's Naughty Words

I am gemused to see that US Nanny, in the shape of the Department of Homeland Security, has a list of 377 "naughty" words that really vex her.

In fact so vexed is she about these words, that she monitors their usage in emails and other electronic communications.

However, some of the words seem to be a tad innocuous eg; pork, ice, snow etc.

Anyhoo, courtesy of Sovereign Man, here is the complete list. Feel free to compose a short story incorporating all 377 of them:

Brighton Council Knobheads

Councils, as loyal readers know, are populated with a strange mix of people who more often than not are detached from the day to day realities that the real world occupants (ie ourselves) have to face.

Sadly for the good people of Brighton, the Brighton and Hove (actually) Council are at the top end wrt being detached from reality.

Evidence of this comes from the ongoing neglect by the council of Brighton's seafront infrastructure.

Brighton is a seaside resort and its local economy is dependent on the tourist industry. The one area of Brighton that all tourists head towards is the seafront. Hence the one area of Brighton that must be maintained and looked after is the seafront.

Can you guess what has happened children?

Yes, that's right, the council has for years neglected the seafront. The result being that the area is unkempt, unloved and in many parts derelict.

Aside from "cosmetic" issues, there are also safety issues. Parts of the seafront have been closed because the infrastructure (pavements, railing, steps etc) have been neglected for so long that they are dangerous.

A public meeting on Tuesday highlighted the fact that if the council don't get off their backsides now, more of the seafront will be closed off to people for safety reasons.

The council claims that it has no money, which is ironic given that it intends to waste £36M on an absurd tower that allegedly people will pay to go up to look at Brighton from aloft. Fear not though, the council has a solution.

Can you guess what that is children?

Yes, that's right, the council wants to tax tourists.

All very well and dandy maybe if Brighton's seafront didn't look like shit, the trouble is that the seafront does look like shit. Additionally, as already noted on this site, the council already charge the highest rates of parking charges in Christendom for the "privileged" of parking on the seafront.

Why the fark would people come here if they are going to be taxed to buggery before they even spend their money on tourist type things such as fish and chips, and ice cream?

Brighton and Hove (actually) council are deluded knobheads who will end up destroying the city.

The Rise of The Machines

My thanks to a loyal reader who alerted me to a story about Nanny's chums from Thatcham (an industry funded research centre) that is seeking government support for a scheme to encourage motorists to buy cars with auto-emergency braking systems.

Thatcham's ‘Stop the Crash' campaign wants the Treasury to introduce and fund a £500 incentive for those choosing to buy new cars with AEB fitted.

Seemingly, as per Post, cars equipped with autonomous emergency braking have 18% fewer third party injury claims. An incentive to encourage drivers to buy cars with anti-crash technology would save 60 lives and result in 760 fewer serious casualties, in just three years, according to research by Thatcham.

That is all very nice if the systems work, and if the drivers of cars fitted with these devices don't become lapse in their driving as they become seduced by the "comfort" of thinking that the car will save them from stupid and dangerous driving.

The simple fact is to rely on the car, and complex computer systems, will take away the driver's need to be alert/vigilant and will add to the risks of accidents happening.

Additionally, were drivers not to tailgate or drive recklessly in fog and dangerous conditions in the first place such devices should not be required.

Handing over responsibility for driving to a machine is a risk in itself.

Malaysian Ministry of Transport Prays To The Ocean

The BBC reports that the Malaysian Ministry of Transport has posted this bizarre comment on its Facebook page:

"Dear Indian Ocean, keep them safe, warm them, hug them, take away all fear, take good care of MH370 until we come to take them home."

Unsurprisingly it has now been removed.

This ranks alongside texting the bereaved families of those who died on the flight, for sheer ineptitude.

When government departments get things wrong, they never do it in half measures!

Dutch Nanny Bans Women

I am gemused to see that equality loving Dutch Nanny has banned women from serving meals to our "respected" international leaders at the Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague. Only men over 25 are allowed to serve the food.

For why?

Seemingly, if the media is to be believed because our leaders may be distracted by the sight of the women.

What does that say about the attitude of the Dutch towards women, or the attitude of the Dutch towards "respected" international leaders?

Prats of The Week - Liverpool Council

My oh my, it feels like a gazillion years since I last awarded one of my prestigious Prats of The Week Awards.

Therefore, without further ado, based on the recommendation of a loyal reader I present the award this week to Liverpool Council.

For why?

Liverpool City Council want to ban people from eating takeaway food with their fingers, in a move designed to curb litter.

Nick Small, Liverpool council's enterprise chief, is quoted by the Liverpool Echo:

 "We don’t want people buying chips, eating them outside and  then dropping their litter.”

The new rules will apply to city centre businesses with outdoor seating areas - known as pavement cafes.

Any new business bidding for a pavement cafe licence will now be ordered to serve food on plates with cutlery, rather than in paper bags or polystyrene trays.

Cllr Small said:

“We can see the benefits of pavement cafes being there, we just want them to up their standards.

For any new business with a pavement cafe, we are going to make sure they give out plates and cutlery.

We can’t go back and review licences we have already issued, but we would like all businesses with pavement cafes to start issuing plates and cutlery voluntarily.”

This is all very well and dandy. However, the ruling doesn't apply to those establishments that don't have outside seating. Additionally, the littering is caused by ignorant people who are too lazy or stupid to look for a bin; it is not caused by the takeaway.


Punish the cretins who drop the litter, not the takeaway or their non littering customers who have to pay more for a plate and cutlery (which doubtless will be broken or used as weapons by some).


Liverpool Council, well deserving Prats of The Week!

Turkish Twitter Workaround

My sympathies to the good people of Turkey who have been locked out of Twitter by Turkish Nanny.

For why?

It seems some people on Twitter have been accusing the Turkish government of being corrupt!

Surely not?

Turkish Nanny is so annoyed, that her chum Erdogan has vowed to "eradicate Twitter!".

Bold words indeed.

Bold, but hollow.

Turkish users can send Tweets using SMS. Avea and Vodafone text START to 2444. Turkcell text START to 2555.

To subscribe to a user's tweets via SMS, users can send ON [username] to their carrier's Twitter short code (i.e., 2444 or 2555 for most Turkish users). Twitter provides step-by-step instructions on its support page.

Anyhoo, for those people in Turkey who don't like to be censored and feel that they should be allowed to access Twitter, the above photo provides a means of accessing it without Turkish Nanny getting in the way.

Drink Beer, Play Bingo

I am gemused to see that Nanny has changed her stance on booze and gambling.

Nanny published an online advert after yesterday's Budget that trumpets the benefits of the cutting of beer and bingo taxes.

Clearly she now wants us to drink and gamble more.

Nanny Hates The Unsavoury

I am gemused to see that, in addition to Nanny claiming "super flagger" powers (wrt YouTube videos that may encourage terrorism), Nanny wants to go a few steps further and deal with material on the net that Nanny deems to be "unsavoury".

Nanny's security and immigration minister, James Brokenshire, told the Financial Times the government has to do more to deal with material “that may not be illegal but certainly is unsavoury and may not be the sort of material that people would want to see or receive.”

He said that Nanny wants to explore options where search engines and social media sites change their algorithms, so that unsavoury content is less likely to appear or is served up with more balanced material.

Would anyone care to define exactly what "unsavoury" content means?

One person's "savoury" is another's "unsavoury"!

Eat Sugar, Starch and Fat!

The Guardian has an article showcasing some of Nanny's poster campaigns (eg exhorting us to wash our hands before eating) from a bygone era.

One particular poster (see above) caught my eye, it was published in 1954 by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.

Can you spot what caught my eye children?

Yes, that's right, Nanny is recommending that we eat certain foods (eg milk, cheese, meat, fat and sugar) that she absolutely loathes nowadays. Oddly enough a 1998 study by the Medical Research Council found that children in the 1950s were healthier than their 1990s counterparts.

Given that whatever Nanny advises us to eat changes on a whim, what are we to do?

Answer: Ignore her advice!

French Nanny Bans Even Numbered Cars

Good luck to the good people of Paris today, who are enduring French Nanny's attempts to reduce the levels of pollution in the city.

Nanny's solution is to ban all cars from driving in Paris with even number plates today. Tomorrow it will be the turn of those with odd numbered plates to be banned. This experiment will last for five days, in theory.

Methinks there surely must be other ways (less cumbersome and less prone to prompting Gallic outbursts of temperament) to reduce the number of cars in Paris that Nanny could employ?

This will end in tears!

Nanny Bans Help For Heroes

Oh dear, sometimes I do wonder about how easy it has been for Nanny to rob people of their commonsense; as this piece of Nanny nonsense emanating from Maldon Primary School demonstrates.

Charlie Tew, a 10 year old pupil of the school, recently bought a rubber "Help For Heroes" band from a military festival in Colchester in memory of murdered soldier Lee Rigby. Charlie then wore the band to school.

Can you guess what happened next children?

Yes, that's right, a teacher banned him from wearing it and put Charlie on report.

For why?

Well there appears to be some "confusion" as to the exact reason for the ban. Tracey Tew (Charlie's mum) told the Essex Chronicle that it was because the band may cause offence.

However, the school contends that the decision was made for health and safety reasons, with the headteacher reported as stating that jewellery risks "being caught".

Either way, the ban is absurd. If "caught", because the band is rubber and around his wrist there will not be any serious injury incurred other than, at worst, a slight bruise caused by the band pinging back or breaking against Charlie's wrist.

A spokesman for Maldon Primary School said:

“The school policy states that the only jewellery to be worn are small silver studs and a wristwatch.

This is for the health and safety of children at the school.”

Hang on a minute..."wristwatch"???...don't wristwatches run the risk of being "caught" as well?

This all sounds very odd to me.

Whatever happened to commonsense?

Compulsory Voting

I see that Kevin Meagher from the Labour Uncut blog has called for compulsory voting, and said everyone should be made to take part in elections or face a fine.

Does Meagher not get "democracy"?

Not voting or registering to vote is a political statement in itself; every bit as valid as voting Tory, Labour, Liberal etc.

By making voting compulsory Meagher would be damaging the fabric of democracy itself.

Pluck Off!

It seems that Nanny is worried about pluckers (people who steal mobiles etc from sleeping people's laps on trains).

Have people so little commonsense that they would leave a valuable object on their laps whilst taking a nap in public?

Hi-Vis

EEEEK...a gazillion schoolkids are walking down my road, in crocodile formation, all wearing hi-vis!

This contrasts with the scene on the beach the other day when a gazillion other schoolkids rushed onto the beach with their teachers, having visited the Sea Life Centre, not one of them wearing hi-vis.

I thought Nanny made the wearing of such garments compulsory?

Nanny Hates Salt

I see that Nanny is bleating about the amount of salt in our diets again.

This time she expresses concern for the children, and the fact that their diets are (apparently) awash with too much salt.

The source of all of this salt?

Seemingly a large amount comes from breakfast cereals, which as anyone knows are in effect a massive waste of money and space. Kids would be better off eating the cardboard box that the cereal came in, along with the plastic toy inside.

Anyhoo, Nanny is very concerned and wants the salt level cut.

I have a far simpler solution, just add extra sugar to the cereal; thus cancelling out the effects of the salt.

Simples!

Nanny Hates Fags - Smoking in Cars Banned

I see that a smoking shelter outside Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry is to be demolished today.

The Western Health Trust's new policy means that smokers will not be able to use such shelters. Additionally, and this is really bizarre, people (staff, patients, the public etc) will be banned from smoking in their own cars cars on trust premises.

A trust spokeswoman is quoted by the BBC:

"The Western Trust will become a completely smoke free campus on 12 March 2014, National No Smoking Day, making the trust the first smoke free health and social care trust in Northern Ireland.

No smoking will be allowed on site for patients, service users, staff, members of the public and contracted workers. 

This is a step further than the previous policy as there will be no shelter where patients can smoke and staff will not be allowed to smoke in their cars on site."

May I ask how the fark Nanny intends to enforce her no smoking in cars policy?

Nanny Wants More Canadian Porn

My thanks to a loyal reader from Canada who has a alerted me to some Canadian Nanny nonsense (courtesy of the National Post) regarding porn shown on AOV Adult Movie Channel, XXX Action Clips and Maleflixxx (Canadian TV channels), it seems that not enough of the porn is Canadian.

Nanny's chums from the Canadian Radio-television & Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) have been up all night watching bucket loads of porn, and have decreed that there are insufficient levels of Canadian-made pornography (the threshold is 35%) plus what is shown has not been close-captioned. As such, the CRTC has issued a reprimand to the three TV channels.

Incidentally, under standard CRTC policy, Canadian channels must also cater to the blind by offering “Audio Description,” a service in which narrators describe “graphics that appear on the screen.”

I see......erm thoughts and comments on how that would work anyone??

Nanny Bans Food

Following on from Nanny's warnings about sugar being addictive, I see that she also has a bee in her bonnet about high protein food (eg meat).

A study in the journal Cell Metabolism seemingly has led Nanny and the media to conclude that eating meat is almost as dangerous as smoking.

Should we all eat dust then?

Nanny Hates Sugar

Dame Sally Davies, Nanny's chief medical officer, is so alarmed about the dangers of sugar that she wants it taxed.

Sigh!

In her view (as per the BBC) "research will find sugar is addictive".

Read that statement very carefully.... she is saying in effect that although there is no evidence that sugar is addictive, one day there will be evidence.

Please bear in mind that she is meant to be Nanny's chief medical officer and, as such, should have some form of scientific education wherein beliefs and gut feelings are outweighed by facts.

Evidently, when one has "faith", facts and science aren't important!

With regard to addiction, here is a list of things that are addictive:

- booze
- fags
- drugs
- coffee/tea
- chocolate
- porn
- sex
- exercise
- anorexia
- overeating
- cosmetic surgery
- violence
- wanking
- the internet
- tweeting etc

In short, most things in the human experience are addictive if they are "overdone". The key to living a healthy, non addictive, life is to have balance and perspective and not to overdo one's little pleasures (ie apply commonsense).

Bin Brother - Nanny's Bin Tax

Nanny's chums in local councils are forever bleating that they are running out of money. However, instead of cutting back on waste and unnecessary expenditure, they opt for the easy route and bleed the local taxpayers dry usually via increasing council taxes.

These days though, as a result of pressure from central Nanny and from more vocal local residents councils are finding that it is not so easy to raise council taxes.

The solution?

Simples, create another charge for a service that is already covered by council tax.

Step forward Nanny's greedy chums from South Gloucestershire council who want to introduce a £36 per annum charge, which in theory is meant to cover the cost of collecting local residents' green bins.

Call me old fashioned, but this just sounds like a complete rip off. In the event the green bins are so expensive to collect, why not simply abandon them and return to the good old days of putting all your waste in the same bin?

Let's face it, all the waste (green or otherwise) simply ends up in landfills in India anyway.

Anyhoo, Chris Skidmore MP for Kingswood, has launched a petition calling on South Gloucestershire Council to stop this rip off.

Nanny's Fat Child Catchers

I see that Boris Johnson has stated that Muslim children who risk radicalisation by their parents should be taken into care, and that a "fatal squeamishness" had developed over intervening in the behaviour of certain groups in society.

He is quoted by the BBC:

"At present, there is a reluctance by the social services to intervene, even when they and the police have clear evidence of what is going on, because it is not clear that the 'safeguarding law' would support such action.

A child may be taken into care if he or she is being exposed to pornography, or is being abused - but not if the child is being habituated to this utterly bleak and nihilistic view of the world that could lead them to become murderers.

I have been told of at least one case where the younger siblings of a convicted terrorist are well on the road to radicalisation - and it is simply not clear that the law would support intervention.

This is absurd. The law should obviously treat radicalisation as a form of child abuse.

It is the strong view of many of those involved in counter-terrorism that there should be a clearer legal position, so that those children who are being turned into potential killers or suicide bombers can be removed into care - for their own safety and for the safety of the public."

Irrespective of whether Nanny should remove children that she considers to be at risk of radicalisation, given that Nanny allows religious schools to exist proving "radicalisation" may be an uphill struggle, it is "ironic" that the alleged "squeamishness" at removing children does not extend to those who Nanny deems to be fat.

The Independent reports that 74 children have been put into care in the last five years because they are morbidly obese. The rationale being that allowing a child to become obese is akin to child abuse.

Tam Fry, a spokesman for the National Obesity Forum, said letting children get so obese at such a young age was “quite simply child neglect and abuse”.

“I understand the reluctance of social workers to act until medical professionals have seen the children. But once a care order is obtained, no delay on their part is acceptable. It is a national tragedy that so many children are now, quite rightly, being taken into care.”

Evidently Nanny believes that she can do a better job than the parents at raising children.
